screen.
• If the meeting has not started yet, the meeting details appear. Wait
until the scheduled meeting time, and click Attend. You might need
to refresh your browser to see the Attend button.
Tip If you do not see the meeting you want to attend, it might be unlisted
(hidden). Click Unlisted Meeting in the Meeting Center, enter the meeting
name, and click OK. If the meeting requires a password, enter the password
and click OK.
Note If your Meeting Center includes a search feature, you are using the
Enterprise Meeting Server (EMS). See the IBM Lotus Sametime User's Guide
for information about attending a meeting from the EMS.
You can participate in Sametime meetings in the following ways:
You can use Meeting Room chat to send typed messages to everyone in the
meeting. You can also send private chat messages to selected participants.
Use chat if audio is not available or if you need to ask a question and do not
want to disturb the audio portion of the meeting. For example, you can use
chat to request permissions from the Moderator.
